$\nu_\mu$ Charged-Current Inclusive Cross-Section Measurement in the NOvA Near Detector
ORAL
Abstract
The NOvA (NuMI Off-axis $\nu_e$ Appearance) experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment hosted by Fermilab. NOvA uses two functionally-identical detectors 14 mrad off-axis from the beamline, each of which is a segmented tracking calorimeter. A near detector underground at Fermilab is used not only for observing the unoscillated neutrino spectra, but also for carrying out cross-section measurements owing to the high rate of neutrino interactions in its highly active volume. Modeling charged-current interactions is of great importance since they are the signal channels for the oscillation measurements, yet current models have large uncertainties. In this talk, I present the details and results of the double-differential, systematics-limited $\nu_\mu$ charged-current cross-section measurement using data from the NOvA near detector.
